It was my misfortune, not by choice you understand and I'm not really a sad person who wanders round supermarkets for fun, but I had to go to Tesco's again today. And following on from yesterday's labelling fiasco I spotted an even better one.
Now even my seven year old grandson knows that twice 68 is less than 150 so it does make you wonder about the intelligence and education of the staff responsible for pricing and labelling in Tesco's. When I mentioned the mistake at Customer Service I was told "She knows about it, she knew yesterday" which is all well and good but why didn't "she" (whoever "she" is) at least remove the offending label. The "special offer" doesn't end until March 23rd but I don't expect anything will happen before then and I certainly don't intend going again to check. Tesco's twice in two days is more than enough for me!
You don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to deduce that if one item costs one pound then two would be two pounds but Tesco seem to think everyone who trades in their is not that bright. The small print on the label goes on to say the special offer will end on March 8th.
I have to admit however that it does seem a better offer than the one they had for bottles of pineapple squash some time ago. They were labelled as 99p each and two for £2.00.
Still "Every Little Helps"as they say and all these pennies must going towards paying the wages of whoever organises all these labels.
